- I am an employee of the INS and state that your information
is wrong.
-
- The color of most "marked" INS vehicles is
white. That is the way they are "issued" to most Districts and
Border Patrol Sectors.
-
- Any markings are "usually" applied at the local
level.
-
- Border Patrol vehicles are white with a green stripe
and usually have tinted windows. Or they are just plain white with no markings,
usually in the interior of the US.
-
- All transport vehicles will have a cage in it. Not to
keep the aliens in, but more to protect the transporting personnel.
-
- In my time with INS I have yet to see a vehicle with
shackles in it. By law we are prohibited from securing aliens to vehicles.
-
- I would assume that the white vehicles on the prison
property in Texas are for our future use. The Border Patrol is ever increasing
in an effort to "finally" secure the southern border.
-
- Detention Officers and Border Patrol currently use V-10
Ford vans, Tahoes, Yukons, Explorers, Expeditions and S-10 Blazers.
-
- Any questions or arguments.
-
- My e mail: tedthefed@hotmail.com
-
- Thanks for the time.
-
- P.S. White vehicles with UN markings and/or Military
Police are another story. I frown upon the suspected use of these vehicles
and I will fight to the death to inhibit UN forces actively pursuing UN/Martial
law goals within the US.

- A friend who is a former employee of the Federal Prison
System tells me that Bastrop and Terre Haute have government contracts
for inmates to re-fit the inside of prison transfer vans...all federal
prison vans and possibly other agenies such as Immigration send their vans
there to be modified. He knew this immediately when I mentioned it.
-
- Just thought you might want to know before you end up
going too far out on a limb, here.

- Bastrop.. AllTexas News
- Nestled behind a hillside, just out of sight from busy
Highway 95 in Bastrop County, Texas, lies a growing fleet of nearly a thousand
showroom-new SUVs, 4WD pickups, suburbans and vans. These vehicles are
not overflow storage for an overstocked dealer. This fleet is owned by
the federal government.
-
- All the vehicles are U.N. White.
-
-
- Rumors have been floating in the area for months about
a fleet of suspicious vehicles being outfitted with prisoner cages, shackles
and insignia such as "U.S. Police Force" and the U.N. roundel.
None of the vehicles observed in the storage area appeared to have any
markings at all other than window stickers with equipment data.
-
- However, prison officials did confirm that the SUVs and
vans were in fact being outfitted with prisoner cages and shackles. When
pressed for information on the intended users of these vehicles, a prison
spokesman said they were intended for the Immigration and Naturalization
Service.
-
-
-
-
- However, vehicles assigned to the INS are predominantly
painted green and those assigned to the Border Patrol are blue in color.
The suitability of a high-visibility color such as white for either agency
is in question. Large, white vehicles can be seen approaching from miles
away.
-
-
-
-
-
- This $30 million fleet of unused government vehicles
has been steadily growing, but has not been deployed. It seems the vehicles
keep coming in, but none go out to user agencies. This field-full of top-of-the-line
utility vehicles, bought with taxpayer dollars, is sitting idle, soaking
up Texas sun.
-
-
-
-
-
- The site is located a few miles North of the city of
Bastrop on U.S. Prison property. The high-security prison itself takes
up the Southern part of the property. The area where the vehicles reside
is fenced-off from the public road with no more precaution than a farmer
might use to keep his cattle from straying. The unguarded entrance warns
that the area is U.S. Prison property and trespassing is prohibited. Another
sign strangley warns of "Poison Gas."
